One News Now interview with Rizza Diaz on face-to-face classes
Q: Sir, how will the pilot testing be done and should we base it on the current quarantine statuses?
SEN. WIN: Actually, apparently it s based on the quarantine categories. But, earlier in the hearing, we recommended to DepEd to expand it to include other epidemiological measurements such as transmission rates, such as other measures that doctors use. So aside from the quarantine categories, it has to be scientific based. It has to be, they have to consult the doctors also and experts to come up with a much more accurate risk-based category.
1-year delay in class resumption is worth 2 years of make-up classes: Pangilinan
ALMOST one year since the suspension of classes at all levels due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the government needs to prepare for mass return to school by pilot-testing face-to-face classes in low-risk areas in the country, Senator Francis Kiko Pangilinan said.
In a co-sponsorship speech of Senate Resolution 668 Monday evening, Pangilinan said: Isang taon na po ang nakakalipas, pero karamihan ng mga problemang hinaharap ng ating education system ay pareho pa rin hanggang ngayon. In fact, mas nadagdagan pa. We owe it to our students, their parents, school faculty and staff, to be able to provide a safe environment to resume classes. We can only do that if we have the experience kung alam na natin kung ano ang epektibo, dapat, at ligtas na gawin, at kung paano ito gagawin, he said.
